In a recent statement on his X account, Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), shared details of his engagement with the party’s National Leader, Seriake Dickson, and the vice-presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso. The discussions were prompted by internal party issues that have been making headlines.
Obi revealed that the meetings, which took place on Democracy Day, were centered on reinforcing cohesion within the NDC and furthering the party’s agenda for national overhaul. He emphasized that despite the NDC being just four months old and encountering obstacles, it stands as the party of tomorrow. The fruitful exchanges during the meetings underscore this outlook.
A committed political family, Obi noted, requires its leaders and members to be ready to make sacrifices and exhibit patience and flexibility, particularly during tough times. This mutual understanding is crucial for establishing confidence, boosting solidarity, and preserving the shared ambition for national transformation.
He stressed that everyone is dedicated to this objective. The NDC continues to be the instrument that will guide Nigeria through purposeful, empathetic governance, with a strong focus on productivity and democratic principles, aiming for the New Nigeria that is achievable.
